As stated in title, please list in your opinion the TOP 10 best powerheads on the market. NOT value i.e. quality v.s. cost, I want to know what companies produce the best ones. Preferrably for a 125g tank. Thanks in advance for your response...

What are you going to use them for? If you want a wave maker, I would recommend a Tunze WaveBox, they are expensive, but you can't put 'cheap' and 'saltwater' in the same sentence. The Tunze made 2-4" waves in my SW tank.

Powerheads

I wish I had saved up for a wave box, but if you can't afford it, go with a tunze turbelle. I love my 6080 in my 125, tons of random water flow, but there is some dead space behind the pump. It has totally rearranged my dsb but doesn't blow my little fish away. If you get one make sure you get the magnet mount, the included brackets are a pain. Sorry I didn't have a top ten like you asked as I had maxi-jets before this and they were horrible, hope this helps.
